I think thats an mpegplayer setting. It wouldn't make sense for an encoder to skip frames.
Chronon:
It's a setting in Mpegplayer. Sorry about the confusion.

Hey folks.

Thanks for your advice.I will set it at the next opportunity.
--- Quote from: cereal_killer ---But if you want an easy and a non-apple program for transferring videos to your ipod I can recommend "copy trans manager". Before that use WinFF with the preset ipod-itunes to convert the video and you're fine.

That is not necessary.I am using the drag&drop-method.
But thanks for your advice, too.

If you're using the OF to watch videos, the drag 'n drop method will not work. The OF only recognizes files that are listed in its database, which programs like iTunes update when syncing content.
Presumably, this "copy trans manager" does the same thing, without the bloat of iTunes.
soap:
1 - Jerky playback is to be expected, to one extent or another, due simply to the fact you're only encoding to 14fps. I understand why you are decimating the frame rate, but expectations need adjusted as well.
2 - I would be surprised if 14fps is actually the ideal frame rate for your situation:
A: I assume you have picked this number because it is the one listed in the wiki (old data) as the sustained 4:3 framerate as tested on that player. I would take that number (assuming it is still valid) as the maximum framerate, not as your target rate. Leave yourself some headroom.
B: In my experience when decimating frame rates the best results are achieved with division by integers. 30fps material down to 15 or 10fps, 24fps material down to 12 or 8fps. Unless your source is unique 28fps material, 14fps is not the ideal solution.
3 - If your source material is interlaced it only compounds the visual artifacts. Progressive content looks better decimated than interlaced content does. Make sure you address this before conversion.
EDIT:
Ahh, likely too late for OP, who hasn't been here in two weeks.
Oh well. Hopefully someone will read this and be helped.
